Chapter 18, Problem 17PE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Series of emissions occur from 91233Pa to 89225Ac have to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Alpha particle (α) represents nucleus of helium atom. It contains two protons and two neutrons. Emission of this alpha particle is called alpha decay. Symbol of alpha particle is 24He.

General equation for alpha decay is as follows:

  ZAXZ2A4Y+24He

Here,

A is the mass or nucleon number.

Z is the atomic number.

X is the symbol of the element.

Beta emission (β) process represents conversion of neutron into 1 proton and 1 electron. This proton stays within nucleus and electron is emitted out of atom. This electron is called the beta particle (10e).

The generic equation of the beta decay is as follows:

  ZAXZ+1AY+10e

Here,

A is the mass or nucleon number.

Z is the atomic number.

X and Y is the symbol of the element.

Gamma rays (γ) are energy photons with more energy than X-rays. Loss of gamma ray causes no change in mass number as well as atomic number.

Predict the major products of this reaction: + H excess NaOH Δ ? Note that the second reactant is used in excess, that is, there is much more of the second reactant than the first. If there won't be any products, just check the box under the drawing area instead.
